Primary Maths PD Spring Term- looking ahead. Focus: Supporting Remote Learning

We have been looking at ways in which the NWLP team can continue to support teachers with remote learning in Maths. All training has been amended with this in mind.

Please see below the NWLP Maths offers for spring 2021:

Teaching Times Tables – Preparing to Test and supporting pupils remote learning.
The session will focus on:
  • How to use models and images to create connections between multiplication and division leading to
    fractions.
  • How to teach tables rather than just reciting them.
  • To develop strategies to support remembering, retaining and using times tables facts rather than
    ‘counting up’.
Delegates will be given materials to support practice remotely.
All materials used at the training will be sent to delegates.
Wednesday 24th February- ONLINE
Am- Year 3 and 4 Teachers

Pm- Year 5 and 6 Teachers

Closing the Mathematical Gap
Focus on pupils who are falling behind and disadvantaged pupils.
  • Staff will explore progression of mathematical concepts to support intervention within key topics
  • Explore how making connections and repetition of key concepts can support these vulnerable pupils
  • Exploring appropriate resources and strategies to secure understanding
Day 2- Tuesday 2nd March- Full day ONLINE
Day 3- Thursday 22nd April- Full day ONLINE

Her contributions to school improvement have been acknowledged in numerous Ofsted and HMI reports. Her work is steeped in improving subject knowledge, building number sense to enable fluency, to enable learners to reason and problem solve.
